Firefighters try to bring a fire
under control that raged in
the bushes close to West
Beach on Saturday afternoon.
Firefighters made a stand
along Big Bay Boulevard
where they managed to keep
the flames at a distance
despite the strong wind. Two
helicopters helped to
extinguish the flames by
waterbombing it. The close
proximity to the beach
ensured that the copters had
a very quick turnaround time,

GYM EQUIPMENT: CAN GENERATE ELECTRICITY

People’s pedal power
LEON STEENKAMP

F

itness enthusiasts along the Table View
beachfront might not have to sing for
their supper but will be able to exercise
for their electricity in the not too distant future.
This follows the allocation of funds for the
establishment of an open air gym next to the
tourist information centre at Dolphin beach.
The range of training equipment situated
at the gym will however also contribute to
a greener environment by helping to generate electricity. Users of the equipment will
generate energy as they sweat away the kilogrammes and the electricity generated in
this way will then be loaded back onto the

main power grid.
The project is the brainchild of local ward
councillor Marissa Jansen van Vuuren who
is also a member of the City of Cape Town
Energy and Climate Change Portfolio.

Save electricity
The gym which is funded out or her R138
000 ward budget for 2013/2014 is her ward’s
(Ward 23) Energy World Design Capital
Project for 2014.
“I am is very excited about the project
which will be aligned with the city’s campaign to save electricity. Each ward was instructed to have a project in the run-up to
the World Design Capital and I chose this,”
Jansen van Vuuren said.

She added that the gym equipment will be
similar to those currently in use along the
Sea Point coastline.
“It will be hardy, sturdy equipment that
will allow users to swing, walk, step and so
generate energy.”
She says the laying of the foundation for
the gym area will start in July.

Power grid
“I foresee that the equipment will be installed and ready for use before the end of
the year. The gym will have a meter where
users will be able to see how many watts of
energy they generate.”
She says the specifics around the actual
connection to the main power grid must still

be investigated but she believes this could
be in place by July next year.
A similar project has already been implemented in Hull, in the UK where people power is being harnessed through the use of cardio outdoor gym equipment and then converted into useable electricity.
According to the website of the Great Outdoor Gym Company, the company responsible for setting up these gyms in the UK, the
electricity currently generated by the Green
Heart gym-users “is used for lighting the
zone at night time to extend the usage of the
facility into the evenings.”

A well-known Table View businessman and
philanthropist is about to embark on his biggest challenge yet – swim the length of the
icy English Channel and summit Kilimanjaro within the same month.
Toni Enderli aims to complete this feat in
July this year. This challenge is unique for
three reasons – the first being; more people
have successfully summited Mount Everest
than have successfully swam the length of
the English Channel. The second being that
no person has ever completed these two gruelling challenges within the same month and
the third is that every effort afforded to these
challenges will benefit those less fortunate.
This epic feat has been aptly dubbed “Summit H2O”.
Toni has made social responsibility a personal priority in his life and is always working out ways to challenge himself and his
community to come together to assist those
in need. These efforts are combined with a
physical challenge undertaken by Toni,
around which funds are raised for a selected
community project. Toni focuses mainly on
outdoor swimming challenges and recent
previous campaigns include the Swim of
Courage to benefit the Natalie Circle of Love
Foundation and the Speedo Ice Swim to benefit the Unbunye Educare centre in Du Noon.
Summit H2O’s beneficiary is the dynamic
Waves of Change Splash programme – teaching underprivileged children from the Western Cape to swim with the inclusion of a life
skills element.
Toni was an integral part of the formation
of this programme and is now working toward the sustainability of the programme.
“The programme is up and running. I am
now focusing on keeping it going. I want to
move beyond the once off donation or community drive. What happens after that? Sustainability of these programmes is key.
Without it, the effort made initially has less
meaning and not much longevity,” Toni
says.
“It costs R6 000 per child for the year-long

programme and at the moment our kids are from Shelley Point, Atlantis and Du
Noon. I am personally funding much of this programme
as I am passionate about giving children the chance to
recognise their potential and
make a fundamental difference in their lives,” he adds.
Toni will be covering all
his own costs for Summit
H2O and 100 % of the money
raised will be donated to the
Waves of Change splash programme. He is challenging
the individuals and businesses within his community to support him as he faces
the greatest challenge of his
life.
In addition to his personal
challenge that is Summit
H2O, Toni is also a co-founder of the Ripple Effect Foundation, the driving force behind the Kilimanjaro leg of
the H2O challenge. The Ripple Effect aims to take 60 people on the Kilimanjaro
climb, all of whom will be encouraged to raise funds in
their own capacity and reach
the R750 000 goal.

All calm
now after
land protest
NADINE MOODIE
Calmness now blows over Du Noon,
after a week of unrest, looting and
protests.
Milnerton police’s W/O Daphne
Dell explains that this comes after
one church sold land to another.
“New Jerusalem Pentecostal Mission Church that owned the land did
not use the land and people erected
shacks on it. They now want to use
the land, but the people don’t want
to move their homes.”
South African law states that people can only be evicted from land, if
other land has been made available
for them to move to.
Mayoral committee member for
human settlements, Tandeka Gqada
says that because the people living
on the land were so opposed to moving, no land was made available for
them to move to.
Mayor Patricia de Lille’s spokesperson, Solly Malatsi says that the
mayor met with the group to facilitate talks and hear their cries about
having to vacate the property.
The protests resulted in two residents being injured.
Police spokesperson, Capt FC van
Wyk says that a 15-year-old boy was
shot for looting a shop.
“The residents then assaulted the
boy’s attacker and now both are in
the care of Somerset Hospital.”
The City’s disaster risk management spokesperson Wilfred Solomons says that food parcels, blankets and clothes were given to the
residents, but this was also unfortunately rejected.
Van Wyk says that the area is
peaceful even though no agreement
between the residents and the
church has been reached.

Young ladies role models
Young ladies from Brooklyn, Rugby and
Maitland are encouraged to sign up for
the Queen Esther project. Paticipants
need to be between the ages of 13 and
20, and should have a vested interest in
making a positive difference.
This year the project aims to empower young women who want to be role
models and leaders in their communities.
Auditions will take place at 12:00 on
Saturday 30 March at Grace a la Grace
Centre, Justin Street, Brooklyn.

Seli 1 bombs and
dead fish link?
nitely linked.
“I’ve seen fish come out of the water like
this many times when a hand-grenade or
dynamite was thrown into the water during my time on the border. So there’s definitely a connection. I’ve seen fish being affected that are up to 50 metres away from
the explosion.”
University of Cape Town’s head of marine research institute, Dr Coleen Moloney
says that dynamite fishing is a technique
that is often used to catch fish.
“It is unclear that the explosives used to
remove the wreckage of the ship caused the
fish deaths. It is definitely something that
needs to be looked into and investigated.”
Bloor believes that the fish washed-up because of the high nutrient levels and high
water temperatures that led to low oxygen
levels in the water.
“This could’ve resulted from the slow-release of nutrients from the sediment base,
which could’ve reduced the oxygen to the
fish. The warm summer temperatures
could’ve also added to the deaths, by removing oxygen from the water.”
Chairperson of the Milnerton Canoe
Club, Greg van Heerden says that the club
had to put its training on hold, because of
the dead fish in the lagoon.

GREAT PACKAGE DEAL !

Pride and joy: Ken Mercer

from Durbanville, the proud
owner of this 1947 Scott
motorcycle was among the
51 motorcycle enthusiasts
who took part in the
seventh Century Run on
Sunday. The event caters for
the owners of motorcycles
that are older than 21 years
with five veteran motorcycles – built before 1914 –
also taking part. The group
assembled at Century City
and then had the choice of
three routes – a 14 km,
44 km and 98 km along the
Durbanville winelands
finishing at the Cape
Multi-Motorclub in Parow.

Tons of fish have washed up on the shores
of Milnerton’s beach and lagoon, and nobody knows what the exact cause of the
wash-up is.
Last week Milnerton residents were
shocked when they woke up and found dead
fish on the shoreline of Milnerton lagoon
and beach.
Just before the fish appeared the wreck
of the Seli 1, the Turkish cargo carrying
ship that was stranded in the waters since
September 2009 was reduced by the South
African Navy through a series of calculated
explosions. Explosives were used to weaken the structure to allow the wave action
to destruct the vessel during he upcoming
winter.
It wasn’t long after the explosion that
more than 15 tons of dead fish wash up.
The city’s mayoral committee member
for economic, environmental and spatial
planning, Garreth Bloor says that the fish
deaths and the explosion of Seli 1 are not
linked.
But a former policeman who served
South Africa in the Border War differs.

City: ‘Please register
your boreholes’
The city is encouraged by the response to
boreholes and well-point registration drive.
The city appeals to those with boreholes or
well-points on their properties to register
or re-register on its database, in the spirit
of Water Month.
The information obtained during the
borehole/well-point registration process is
required for statistical data purposes only
and no charges are levied.
There has been a steady increase in the
number of boreholes and well-point registrations across the city – especially during
March this year, which is also the city’s Water Month.
Apart from information, owners will also
receive a new borehole/well-point sign
which must be prominently displayed on
the boundary of the premises, upon registration.
The effective use of boreholes and wellpoints for non-drinking purposes, such as
irrigating gardens, reduces the demand on

drinking water from the city’s water mains,
and is therefore encouraged.
“We would like to appeal to those who
have these water resource applications on
their premises to please register them with
the city’s water and sanitation department
at no charge.
“As a Caring City, we recognise and applaud those who use alternative water
sources for the responsible manner in
which they address the water demand on
their premises,” said the mayoral committee member for utility services, Ernest Sonnenberg.

well-point(s),

Sanral, city toll dispute arises again
Despite a pending review in the high court
and a previous agreement not to do so, the
South African National Roads Agency (Sanral), gave the City of Cape Town, notice of
intent to start work.
In November 2011, in response to the city’s
urgent interdict application, Sanral agreed
that it would take no further steps towards
implementing the toll road project pending
the city’s review application being heard
and that it would provide the city with 45
days’ notice of its intention to start working
on the toll project.
Such notification was received on 6 March
2013, which means that Sanral could commence work on the project by 20 April 2013
without first resolving the city’s concerns.

“The city does not believe that Sanral has
been transparent in its engagement with the
city and hence we will ask the court to compel Sanral to provide all information necessary regarding this project as a matter of urgency. This will allow the review process to
be concluded fairly and speedily,” said councillor Brett Herron, mayoral committee
member for transport, roads and stormwater.
According to Herron, Sanral has thus far
refused to share information relating to the
cost of the tollroads, the magnitude of the toll
fees and impact on road users with the city.
“The city does not want a similar situation
to arise here that arose in Gauteng, that the
toll road was built before residents had a full

understanding of the fees and cost implications,” he said.
The abovementioned court application to
review the decisions of Sanral and the ministers of transport and environment, which
will make the toll roads possible, was made
to the Western Cape High Court in March
last year.
This review has not yet been concluded
and the city believes that Sanral’s decision
to go ahead with this project before the court
has decided to the review application, undermines the right of the city and its people
to have the court determine the lawfulness
of the project before it commences.
In its notice to the city on 6 March, Sanral
indicated its intention to conclude a conces-

sion contract with the preferred bidder – the
Protea Parkways Consortium – or if necessary the reserve bidder, at an unspecified
time after 20 April 2013.
Sanral has also notified the city that it intends commencing with construction work,
but it refuses to tell the city what work it
plans to do, or when it will do it.
In turn Sanral, on Friday stated that it
never said it intends to start with the project
or to conclude the concession contract on the
20 April 2013.
“Sanral, through its lawyers, did send a
letter to the city on 6 March 2013 notifying
it of its intention to take steps to advance or
implement the N1/N2 Toll Highway
Project,” a statement read.

Anel scoops blog award
NADINE MOODIE
All the plates of cold food she’s fed her husband have finally paid off for an avid cook
from Century City.
Her colourful blog that contains a variety
of recipes, photos and writing entries
brought smiles and accolades to Anel Potgieter, when she recently won the local food
blog award in the Eat Out magazine Dstv
Food Network competition.
Many will recall Anel being voted off the
reality TV show Master Chef last year.
“I was incredibly depressed after the rejection episode. I made it to the top 35, but that
was just not good enough. I took it very seriously and felt completely rejected,” she recalls.
She believes that Master Chef was the catalyst event for her to start her blog and win
this award.
“After the show I ate Zoo cookies for
weeks. I woke up one morning and decided
that that was enough and that I needed to

write about food where no one could criticise it. That’s how my blog www.lifeisazoobiscuit.com started.”
An anonymous person to whom Anel is
grateful, nominated her blog for the award.
About the awards ceremony she tells of
how overwhelmed she was.
“I never thought that I would inspire people. I was up against a big blogger, and then
they announced that my blog meant a lot to
the food industry. I was literally crying the
whole time.”
Eat Out’s content director Anelda Greeff
says that the award for the best local food
blog recognises the vital role that independent bloggers play in promoting small producers and growing the local food industry.
“We’re thrilled that Anel walked away with
this year’s award, as she’s a bundle of joy
and energy, and shares her love for food and
cooking generously.”
Anel says that her husband is so happy,
because he’s had to eat cold food for a long
time while she took photos of the dishes.

Slaving over the stove has brought the
champion food blogger Anel Potgieter a well
deserved award. Her efforts were recognised
and she was recently awarded with the Eat
Out Dstv Food Network local food blog
award.

Earth Hour
loses sparkle
in the dark
Those of us who honoured Earth Hour
Saturday night by switching off our
lights, may have found that it was
probably one of the longest hours this
year.
“Uniting people to protect the planet”
seemed to lose its glamour after about
half an hour.
One is not equipped for a power outage
any more, even when created by your
own free will. After about 15 minutes, the
romantic atmosphere created by all the
candles in the house started to wear off.
Then the urge for coffee kicks in, oh
yes, but we can’t put the kettle on. And
the small gas stove used during the last
season of load shedding, is packed away
somewhere where one would definitely
not find it in the dark. Especially not
with the torch batteries that have run
down for no reason.
Sooo what shall we do then? Watch a
bit of TV? Or not. That also operates on
electricity, remember? Half an hour to go.
What do people who can only rely on
candle or paraffin lamp power? Play
cards? (Where did we put those again?)
They probably just sit down and chat.
Do families still have simple conversations or does it interfere with their TV or
cellphone time. Now 20 minutes to go –
20 minutes to ponder on the real value of
electricity, our dependence on it – and
also what it took away from us. We’ve
given too much power away, it seems,
and that does humankind no good, never
mind the planet.

Number the
trolleys with ID
If people bothered to take
analytical notice, one will find
trolley transporters do not
stand and beg or become a
nuisance at your doorstep. All
they are doing is desperately
trying in another way like me
and you to make a living with
the end survival strategy to
put food on the table.
The latest complaint now is
these trolleys transporters are
an obstacle in the road and
therefore should be banned
from our highways and byways.
Even better, the trolleys are
used to transport stolen
property and therefore another
justification call to ban the
trolleys from the neighbourhood.
If that is the case, then we
have to ban all modes of
transport as criminals may get
away.
The other issue is the
ownership of that trolley.
If a company can positively
identify particular trolleys due
to a proper identification
process then by all means let
the wheels of justice turn.
I appeal to people to donate
trolleys to justified, identified
users in our never-ending
quest for employment, where
the donated trolley is properly
registered, marked and numbered to an identified user
with a code of conduct.

The stop street that
no one stops at
I live in Edgemead, where
there is a three way intersection at Reston Way, which
might as well not even be
there because no one stops at
all.
I have seen young mothers
with babies in the car just
whip their head to the side and
shoot through.
I have seen schoolchildren

on motorbikes and scooters,
also just shoot through without
stopping. Everyone including
our senior citizens seem to
think the stop sign is invisible.
There should be a camera
installed on the street light,
which could be used as evidence, to, provide the authorities with the relevant number
plates so that they can prosecute the offenders.

The Seli 1 explosions

With reference to a report of

I think that there were
explosions on or before 15
March, when the dead fish
washed out.
I know for a fact, that such
an explosion kills most of the

any explosion beneath the

Make database of
offender registration
Much has been written and
reported in this newspaper and
other news media regarding
motorists who disobey stop
signs and red traffic lights and
I share the sentiment of the
writer of last week’s article.
(“Please stop your car at the
stop signs”, Tygerburger, 20
March.)
The City of Cape Town has a
plan in place to recruit more
traffic inspectors for the
northern suburbs, but this is a
long way off.
It may be time that we who
are concerned and who obey
traffic laws, record the registration numbers of the offenders,
together with the time and
place of the occurrence and the

Traffic Department provide an
email address where this
information could be posted,
which will provide records of
the offenders, thus creating a
database and action could then
be taken accordingly.

Mentally normal
people don’t rape
Most cases of rape have nothing to do with sexual desire.
“Religion might stop epidemic
of rape” (Tygerburger 13
March). The rapist is a mentally ill individual who is trying
to show his dominance and
power. No healthy person
would rape someone just
because he is sexually frustrated. Therefore Sexpo should not
cause a healthy individual to
suddenly rape someone. If you
are tempted to rape someone
after watching porn or attending Sexpo, then you need
psychiatric help, not censorship.
Bringing religion back into
schools is not the answer
either. Your religion has
absolutely nothing to do with
your moral compass.
Atheists are perfectly capable
of also refraining from rape, or
do you wish to disagree, M
Golding of Parow?
There is in any case no way
to bring religion back to
schools, because how could you
possibly include every single
religion on earth in the curriculum?
Anything less would be very
unfair and discriminatory.
The only way to stop rape is
by making sure your children
do not become rapists. You can
do this by providing a loving
environment, and making sure
they receive help if they have
emotional and mental problems.
If you want to bring religion
into it, that’s your decision,
and you should do it in the
privacy of your own home – not
in our schools.

A skateboarding task team was
formed by the City of Cape Town to cater for the need of skateboarders
around the city.
According to Brett Herron, mayco
member for transport, roads and
stormwater, the task team wants to
open the channels of communication
between affected parties to solve mutual issues.
“In doing so we want to develop a
comprehensive strategy to ensure the
integration of skateboarding as a
mode of transport and a form of recreation.”
He says this strategy will consist of
the identification of skating facilities
and the infrastructure requirements
of skating within the city, the formulation of a mutually agreeable policy for
the regulation of skateboarding, and
the implementation of practical steps
that accommodate the needs of both
skaters and the general public, in other words, a comprehensive policy to
protect both skaters and the city.
“It is with great optimism that I
greet the formation of this skate task
team.
“I believe that this forum gives us
every chance of finding common
ground between the city, skateboarders and the non-skateboarding public,” Herron said.
Marco Morgan, speaking on behalf
of the National Skate Collective, has
welcomed the positive approach taken
by the city in this regard.

Cold comfort for young ones
With 300 baby penguins in need of assistance
and a refrigerator on the brink of collapse,
the Southern African Foundation for the
Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB)
put out an appeal for assistance.
Wesgro, the Western Cape Tourism Trade
and Investment Agency, put feelers out into
their network of businesses. Hisense South
Africa came to SANCCOB’s rescue with a
brand new energy efficient, eco-friendly
730F double door fridge.

The fridge was handed over on Wednesday
19 March at the foundation’s Table View
premises.
Executive director for SANCCOB, Margaret Roestorf said: “As a non-profit organisation, SANCCOB often relies on in-kind donations to keep our doors open 365 days a year.
Without the assistance from kind-hearted
organisations our conservation and rehabilitation efforts would not have been possible.”

Smog gets in your eyes
A smog covered Cape Town is the subject of
the next open meeting of the Table View
Ratepayers’ Association (TVRA).
The cause and effect of and solution to the
brown haze which can often be seen after a
couple of windless days, will be discussed.
It’s a phenomenon affecting the health of

all Cape Town residents. Does the city have
a solution? Ian Gildenhuys, head of Specialised Environmental Health, will address
this important issue at the next TVRA meeting on 8 April at 19:00 at the West Coast Family Church, 1a Sandown Road, Bloubergsands. Coffee will be served from 18:30.

Very long walk
for the animals
DESIREÉ RORKE
“Not once on our long journey did we come
across an aggressive animal. We’ve fallen into swamps, crawled through boomslang infested forests, walked through game reserves and over farmlands and never did one
animal harm us or did we feel threatened by
them. I wish the same could be said about
the people we encountered along the way,”
says Terrence Olivier.
Terrence (53) from Amanzimtoti and Jimmy Collins, his 70-year-old walking buddy
from Johannesburg, arrived in Cape Town
last Wednesday after a gruelling 2 000 km
walk from Amanzimtoti, to raise funds for
several animal charities across the country.
Together they are known as the Rainbow
Warriors and literally went a long way to
raise awareness for this cause.
One of the 24 charities they supported is
the Cape Town based Uitsig Animal Rescue
Centre in Fisantekraal, with whom they met
at a fundraising event on Thursday.
The event, a scrumptious high-tea was
hosted by Zomerlust Guest House in Paarl
and attended by the centre’s volunteers, supporters and members of the community.
The two intrepid warriors started their 70day journey in January when Terrence
came to realise the urgency of the plight of
animal charities.
“Every day I hear of charities asking for
financial help and the idea came to me to do
this long walk. It would afford me the opportunity to raise funds and spread the message,” he says.
At that stage Jimmy, a family friend came
down from Johannesburg for a visit and de-

cided to take up the challenge with the enthusiastic Terrence.
The two of them travelled through 70
towns and walked between 25 and 35 kilometres a day, every day.
“Many days I got up and thought that I
wasn’t going to make it and had to push myself, mentally and physically to get up and
walk on,” says Jimmy while he shows off his
walking shoes that had to be re-treaded
twice along the way.
One of the core ideologies of the message
the warriors spread with their journey, is a
simple one: cruelty against domestic animals can be prevented by education and sterilisation.
Uitsig Animal Rescue Centre, currently
has 500 animals living on their farm. Of
these 300 dogs, 100 cats, chickens and horses,
most have been abandoned our found stray
and neglected in townships in and around
Cape Town.
“We try to find homes for these animals
but many of them will not be adopted and
stay with us until they die, as we by principle
do not euthanise animals,” says Denay
Saunders of the rescue centre while again
emphasising the importance of sterilisation.
“In one township we did a survey which
showed that only three out of 189 of the dogs
living there were sterilised. Can you imagine how quickly the animal population in
this township will grow out of control, with
hundreds of these animals ending up in rescue centres like ours?” she asks.
Terrence and Jimmy will soon return
home but have assured the folk at Uitsig that
they will be back...

All can be overcome
A blind student from the University of the Western Cape’s
(UWC) Faculty of Law in Bellville received a Dean’s Top
Achiever Merit Award recently.
Xolani Gxekwa received this
award at a pre-graduation
prizegiving ceremony at the
university in middle March.
Despite being completely
blind, Xolani had an average of

79 % in LLB 3 and moves to his
fourth year as the top achiever
by four percent in his class.
Xolani, who stays at the UWC
residence here in Cape town
originally hails from the Eastern Cape.
Aimed at celebrating and
honouring top achievers, the
prizegiving ceremony preceded
the capping of approximately
150 LLB students.

ANDRÉ BAKKES
South Africans face many challenges on a
daily basis, so many tend to switch off when
they hear about strategies aimed at securing
the future for our children and grandchildren. Recycling is one of those issues.
Why should we recycle?
Imagine 500 rugby fields of rubbish, some
already piled about 30 metres high and some
increasing in height about 2.5 metres a day.
That is roughly the pictures of the City of
Cape Town’s landfills at present.
Ward 1’s councillor, Sakkie Pretorius,
feels particularly passionate about recycling and urges everyone to get on board.
He’s been recycling for years and he claims
it is “absolutely worth the effort”.
The City of Cape Town is moving ever closer to getting residents to recycle their waste.
During the interview he often quoted out
of the biannual environmental newsletter of
the city entitled Enviroworks.
It sends out a stark warning: “Waste can
turn the planet on which our grandchildren
will live into a toxic rubbish dump,” and
then defines waste and how to go about disposing of it.
Pretorius continues: “I’ve been recycling
for four years.
“It boils down to the fact that I now just
put one refuse bag in the bin for collection
where it used to be three or four!”
According to him the Bellville, Durbanville and Kraaifontein areas are a few steps
ahead of Parow, Goodwood and surrounds
regarding recycling. This is mainly due to
the fact that residents in the latter suburbs
have to drive further to recycle (all the way
to the modern Kraaifontein Waste Management Facility).
This is the the first integrated waste man-

agement facility in South Africa and is able
to handle up to a thousand tons of waste a
day, which includes a garden refuse chipping facility, a domestic recycling centre
where materials are recovered and a public
drop-off area.
Pretorius continues: “The idea is that every homeowner will get a special bin in which
they will throw materials which can be recycled.”
As a demonstration he takes out a milk
carton from his fridge and points out an
“identification triangle” on its side.
Most products have these triangles printed on them. If the number three or seven appears in the triangle then it cannot be recycled.
The carton Pretorius is holding has the
number zero printed on it, so he will throw

it in a special bin which will later be recycled.
Unfortunately Pretorius has to take this
bin to the recycling plant himself.
“The law will, hopefully soon, force everyone to start recycling. We cannot keep burying our junk. The city’s waste is disposed of
in landfill sites, but these are filling up fast,”
he adds.
According to Enviroworks it is estimated
that households generate approximately
46 % of the waste in the city, industries 27 %
and the commercial sector 26 %.
Pretoius concludes: “People tell me I spend
a lot of energy and fuel on this, but I still feel
that I’m contributing to the environment in
a positive way.”

Parkland East. They are also being
used on the new (102) Salt River
and (101) Gardens routes. Ideally
suited to mixed trafﬁc and narrow
roads, the low ﬂoors ensure easy
access for all, including the elderly,
wheelchair users and those with
luggage, prams or surfboards.
Each bus can hold 25 passengers
seated and 25 standing, with space
for a wheelchair and bicycles.

A01 Airport route

The Airport route now extends to
the V&A Waterfront. Passengers
can either get off at Civic Centre
or continue on the same bus

to the V&A Waterfront, via the
Thibault Square, Stadium, Granger
Bay, Breakwater and Waterfront
stations. This new section of
the Airport route replaces the
Gardens service between Civic
Centre and the V&A Waterfront,
with passengers now changing at
Civic Centre. In the morning and
afternoon peak hours there will
be extra buses between the Civic
Centre and the V&A Waterfront to
maintain a frequency of a bus every
10 minutes.

101 Gardens and 102 Salt River
routes

The new Gardens station has
opened, and MyCiTi buses no
longer stop outside the nearby
Gardens Centre. This route now
goes further down Loop Street,
past the Cape Town International
Convention Centre to the Civic
Centre, and past the CTICC up
Lower Long Street on the reverse
journey. This means the bus does
not travel down Strand Street and
into Adderley Street any longer.
Bus stops on Adderley Street now

serve the new(102) Salt River
route. The St Georges stop in
Strand Street and Bloem bus stops
in Loop and Long streets are also
no longer in operation.
Passengers coming from the
Table View area can still change
at Civic Centre station onto buses
to the Gardens, Salt River and the
V&A Waterfront routes without
being charged again.

New smaller MyCiTi buses are being used on the (F14) route to Big Bay and Parklands East.

Progress being made with construction

C

onstruction has started
on Koeberg Road between
Blaauwberg Road and Racecourse
Road, while work between
Racecourse and Plattekloof
roads is planned to begin in
September. The anticipated date
for completion is April 2014.
Work is also continuing on the link
between Sandown Road and the
N7, which is expected to alleviate
congestion. This important new road
link is scheduled for completion in
the last quarter of this year.

Weather permitting, work on
Blaauwberg Road up to the Diep
River should be ﬁnished by midyear. Work in Potsdam Road, north
of Blaauwberg Road, is due to
ﬁnish by the end of 2013. The City
regrets any inconvenience caused.
Demand for MyCiTi services
continues to grow, especially at
peak times. More buses have been
put on the route between Table
View and Civic Centre, which mean
they leave every 6 to 8 minutes. This
has helped reduce the waiting time.

Lallin Alam
“MyCiTi is nice. I’ve got a car, but
if I take it to town I must pay for
parking, so I travel by bus to save
money and petrol.”

Mick Kerford
“There’s a community feeling on
the bus, with staff and passengers
all getting on together. It’s great!”

Pure and textured: that’s
how Can describes album
LOUISA STEYL
“My music is organic and pure, it’s from
the heart,” says Can Skylark.
And that’s why she decided on naming
her debut album, Pure.
Can Skylark describes her jazzy adult
contemporary music as eclectic and organic. “It’s rich in timbre and texture,”’
she says.
While she hasn’t officially launched
Pure yet, her songs are already playing
on radio stations like KFM 94.5 and her
album is for sale online.
Can says it was while doing drama at
Milnerton High School that she discovered her love of music. “That’s how I got
my wings for music,” she says.
Her parents steered her in a more lucrative direction though and she studied
and worked as a graphic designer, while
pursuing her music passions part time.
She’s been involved in big musical-tributes shows, like Milestones to the Millennium that was on at The Roxy Review Bar
recently and Rough Diamonds and Divas,
which played at the Barnyard Theatre.
Eventually, she was approached by a
producer, who wanted to
record her own original
songs.
“I’ve always had a
yearning to do my own
stuff,” Can admits. Being
approached by a big name
in the industry gave her
the confidence boost she
needed to give it a shot.
“I can’t believe the response I’ve been
getting,” she says.
Can started working on Pure in 2007.
“It was a labour of love, really. I needed
the album to speak for me.”
Along with an impressive list of South
African radio stations playing her work,

work and believes it’s important to give back to the
people who support her. She
helps with charity shows

Animated feature looks
way back into nature past
The Croods opens at Ster-Kinekor CapeGate,
Bayside, Tyger Valley, N1 City and Parow on
Friday.
This animated adventure is set during the
fictional prehistoric Croodacious era where
the creatures and landscapes are unlike anything our world has ever known. Mother Nature is still experimenting and has yet to invent the flora and fauna we know today. One
day an earthquake strikes this volcanic
world and a caveman named Grug and his
family is forced to leave everything behind
in search of a new home. As they set out into
the wide dangerous world, they meet up
with a forward-thinking nomad called Guy
whose progressive view of the world rankles
with Grug whose view of things is far more
traditional and stuck in the past.

Stokes sets his sights
Ambition
It’s clear that the preparation pays off.
At the Dirt Bronco National near
Krugersdorp this year, he had a good first
and second heat, then suffered some bad
luck when his gear shifter snapped off in the
third heat – but he still managed to tie in second place for the day.
Stokes, who attends Fairmont High
School in Durbanville, has ambitions beyond South Africa’s borders too.

“I’d love to have the opportunity to go
overseas and participate in a few races. If I
could do a few races in America, the UK and
Europe, that would be fantastic.”

Throttle
“Motocross isn’t easy,” says Stokes. “It
takes hard work and determination to get
the results you’re looking for. But there’s no
better feeling than getting on your bike,
opening up that throttle and having a blast.”
Round 2 of the 2013 National Motocross
Championship will be held at the Melkbos
MX track near the R27 on Saturday and Sunday 30 and 31 March. A weekend pass costs
R60; children under 13 get in free. Racing
starts at 10:30 on Saturday and 08:00 on Sunday. Sunday’s racing will be followed by a
Monster Energy after-party from 16:00.

L

ocal motocross rider Dylan Stokes, who
won the 125cc class at the Cape Town
National Club Championship at the
Melkbos Motocross Track on 16 March, intends to make the title his own at the South
African National Motocross Championship
that will be held at the same venue this coming weekend.
The 16-year-old Kenridge resident is
putting in the work necessary to pull it off.
Aside from two hours in the gym every day
and rides at the track three times a week,
he does muaythai, runs and cycles. On race
day, he prepares by walking the track, listening to music and discussing strategy with
coach Dean Hoffman.
